It has striven primarily to develop Christian character in the boys of East High School. A new, formal initiation ceremony, was created by this year's Hi-Y club, along with the affiliated girls' club, the Y-Hi. This was a candle light service held in the Methodist Church with Miss Pauline Walden as guest speaker. This service helped to illustrate to the new members the real reverence of the clubs. During an Armistice Day service, which was held by the American Legion, Lester Covert and Wanda Bouts, presidents of the Hi-Y and Y-Hi, respectively, placed flowers on the monument erected by the Hi-Y on May 29, l946, in honor of the boys from East High, who gave their lives in World War II. Following this ceremony taps were sounded by Ioe l-Iibbitts. The Hi-Y and the Y-Hi gave a formal dinner dance during the Christmas vacation. The club was also in charge oi the crowning of the homecoming queen, lanet Shackleford. She, and the members of her court, were presented with bouquets by the co-captains. At the homecoming dance the queen was presented with a gold football. Other activities of the Hi-Y include an assembly, the editing of the school paper, the Hi-Y Tartan, and the preparation of Easter Chapel Services. HI-Y T HTAN The school paper, the Hi-Y Tartan, is sponsored by the Hi-Y and is published bi-monthly. The club sponsor, the president, and the editor of the paper choose the news staff.
